bowers155 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 1.4 sport engine management lights flashing and feels as if it's running on 3 cylinders some times it's alright and others it won't stop doing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 could be a dodgy coil pack, or ht lead or spark plug. Best to get fault code read really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowers155 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 It's like not quite as bad as 3 cylinders I think it could be a weak spark in cylinder one because the ht lead by the plug is all like sand paper colour dust around it and it's taped up as it had a little hole sparking against the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupo-Joe Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Possibly MAP (mass air sensor) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Don't know if your cars have it but an EGR valve can give misfire like symptoms as well...however with a dodgy HT lead that you've got taped up I'm gonna say you'll have to replace that first. Getting fault codes scanned would help though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
